Shadows of the City

[Verse - spoken word - low male vocal]
Sightlines sharp through the skyline's glass,
Neon veins pulse in the concrete mass,
Footsteps echo where the shadows pass,
Ghosts of the past in the streetlight's flash.
Silhouettes dance on the building's edge,
Smoke curls like secrets in the ledge,
Voices blend in the midnight's breath,
Echoes of dreams in the city's death.

[Chorus - low male vocal]
City lights, burning through the night,
Glittering scars in the dark's tight grip,
Shadows of the city, never sleep,
Lurk in the pulse of the street's deep beat.
